For that matter, why even tell Indy about the poison? Why not just wait for him to die and then get the diamond from his corpse?

And while it didn't work out that way, given the focus on cultists, the Evil Colonial Overlord trope is also quite well-established within the genre. It's not hard to throw in a British/French/Dutch company or government official in charge of some sort of nefarious plot and exploiting the native people as a result.…

Venice is totally a classic adventure-serial location. As is fighting a mysterious secret society of fez-wearing dudes.

It wouldn't be that surprising if it kind of is. 10 Downing Street is also apparently pretty crappy with numerous Prime Ministers or their families finding excuses to stay anywhere else whenever possible.

And at only 8 entries I'm a little amazed that the Children of the Corn series has so few titles.

That's actually why the chase never worked for me. It's less of a race than it is a time trial. The train will get to the station at time X, can Popeye get there in time? I don't know why, but that just kills all of my interest.

It's interesting that you compared it to City of God considering that the same screenwriter, Bráulio Mantovani, who adapted the book of the same name. In this case he also adapted a non-fiction book of the same name along with director José Padilha and one of said book's authors, former BOPE Captain Rodrigo Pimentel.

Odd vocabulary choices there. We're treated to the on-the-nose perfection of "louche", but we end up with "the window above a door" rather than "transom"?

So a bunch of different short films by various people with the only common element whatsoever being that they take place in a motel room and are 23 minutes long? That sounds far too free-form to really attract and maintain an audience. It's not even really a show, just a time slot.

Except Hemorrhage is a parody of Lord Humongous from The Road Warrior and the Thunderdome and tiny men riding on shoulders call back to Beyond Thunderdome. It's a mashup of various element from the different Mad Max films.

It's easy to lose a kumquat given how tiny they are. Never, ever put one up your ass. I cannot emphasize how unsafe that is.

You're going to get into a fight with a snarling wolf over a check? Seriously? The only people who are going to do that are deluded tough guys with the insecurity to believe they have something to prove.

Please compare and contrast King Ralph and Splitting Heirs.

I love Walt with hair and a beard and I want to go see his band.

But without Mike Allred's art what's the point?

There's such a thing as a scary koala?

My CON is only 9 and… shit, rolled a 17.

I'd need to see examples, but it's not inherently misogynistic to disparage a mediocre, amateurish band if they happen to be largely female. It's not about white male privilege or anything else, just decent music. If you want to form a band and play the songs you want to play go for it. I wish you all the luck in the…

I think this release schedule is a great idea. With Netflix a series comes out, makes a brief splash (maybe) and then it's over quickly. Roughly the same life cycle that a film has. This follows the more traditional television/serial cycle though and will not only allow it a greater chance to build an audience over…

That's always been one of the more problematic things about that film to me. Diplomatic immunity doesn't mean absolute immunity from prosecution, it just means that he'd be declared persona non grata in the US, ejected from the country, and almost certainly face prosecution back in South Africa. Hell, just revoking…
